Who Speaks for Catholic Women?

Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant LifeAuthentic Catholic womanhood. Many women mistakenly equate this quality with biological motherhood. And yet, God has entrusted every woman -- single or married, with or without children -- with an important task: to bring spiritual life to the world around her, following the example of the Blessed Mother.

"There is one jewel for my poor soul, in a life which desires not sin; it is the beads... Suitable are these for a gift; bits of the tree of Him Who redeemed us."

~ Gitto'r Glyn, Welsh poet; opening lines from his "popish" Cywydd y paderau prennau (Ode to the Wooden Beads); secretly circulated among private Catholic homes in Wales during the English persecutions, when possession meant a death sentence.
